Shotgun — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
21 people have learned this song
Watch "Shotgun" by George Ezra in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of Bb, 116 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with left-hand octave bass patterns while keeping things fun and rhythmic.
Your left hand will bounce between octave Bb, C, D, and F notes — focus on landing those cleanly with a relaxed wrist, because tension will slow you down fast at 116 BPM.
Your right hand cycles through just four chords — Bb, C, Dm, and F — so the real challenge isn't complexity, it's consistency and groove.
Watch the transition from Bb to C especially: that whole-step shift tempts you to rush.
Start hands-separate at around 80 BPM, locking in the left-hand octave rhythm until it feels automatic, then layer the right hand on top.
Once both hands are steady, bump the tempo up in small increments.
If any section feels shaky, loop it ten times before moving on.
This is the kind of song that trains your hands to hold a steady pop pulse — once you own that, dozens of songs open up.
